Actually I am little by little becoming convinced that leaving the
device_link_del() there in drm_panel_detach() would be the right thing
to do. Assuming that my assessment (by reading the code and testing
different approaches) is correct that there is no harm in deleting the
link from the consumer side when the consumer is removed.
I'll left this be over the weekend and see if there are any more
comments by Monday.
